Kuching Tour

Kuching Tour, 5D4N (3rd – 7th May 2011)
Tour group consisted of Yu – N, Angie, Julian, Justin, Connie and yours truly, Christopher.

Day 1 – 3 / 5 / 2011
Took off by AirAsia from Penang International Airport at 10.00 a.m. and touched down at Kuching International Airport at 12.00 noon. We took taxi to town and checked in our Hotel, Grand Margherita.
After lunch we rested in the room from 3.00-5.00 pm because we were quite reluctant to walk around town under the hot sun, while Yu – N , Angie and their 2 kids went for a boat ride.
We all went for a river cruise from 5.30 – 7.00 pm. to admire the nature and culture view on both sides of the river. The leisurely cruise gave us a good view of this Cat City with many high rise buildings and famous landmarks like the Dewan Undangan Negeri, Astana, Chief Minister’s residence, Fort Margherita, etc. There was also a solo cultural dance performance by the orang ulu tribe depicting a hunting trip with a blowpipe. Cordial drink and layer cake were served on board. The cruise ended just as the sun bid us farewell for the day with a splendid display of its beautiful rays perfectly blended with the cloud. We called it a day after dinner at Ipoh Town Kopitiam (in Kuching not in Ipoh.)
